A new method based on potentiostatic coulometry was used to study the kinetics of the aqueous redox reactions between the ions chlorate/iodide, bromate/iodide, and bromate/bromide. The halogen product was continuously and rapidly reduced back to halide at a large platinum gauze cathode, the current being a direct measure of reaction rate and the accumulated charge serving to measure the extent of reaction. The reactions were studied at several temperatures, and activation entropies and enthalpies were calculated.
